Shooting Got to try out my new gun

Picked up a CZ 457 Varmint on Friday and had to try it out asap. The wood on the stock is gorgeous, I’m not sure if they accidentally used a nicer grade on it but it’s the best patterning I’ve seen on a rifle.

Only put about a hundred rounds through it so far. I’m a little let down by how poorly it was grouping at 50 yards. I’m sure some of it is me being unfamiliar with it but I can get much nicer groups out of my wife’s 10/22. Middle groups were with subsonic Eley and seemed to be the best so far.

Don’t judge the scope mounting, I quickly threw it on at the range last minute. It will soon live on my preordered Makasi.

Check your action screws, should be around 25 inch-pounds for wood stock. Try Norma TAC-22, works really good on my MTR.
